Great power resides in the human tongue
Who can stop the destruction once begun?
Like a wild fire that consumes all
Lowering the great who once stood tall
Words can cut deep like a double edged sword
Laying waste that which can not be restored
So guard the thoughts that will lead to your speech
Chain reactions can keep dreams out of reach
Longevity at its best is a flash
Human life will end in dust and in ash
Its brevity should call into action
To live each moment with burning passion
Build character that will this flesh outlast
Our soul’s eternity is unsurpassed
